If you can't beat a Democrat in a Southern state, you ain't worth spit and should not be carrying the GOP banner.
“One has to wonder what the hell is wrong with Tillis.
If you can’t beat a Democrat in a Southern state, you ain’t worth spit and should not be carrying the GOP banner.”
More and more you get the idea that the goal is not to defeat the DEMOCRAT, but to defeat the CONSERVATIVE.
That having been accomplished, there seems to no longer be any enthusiasm to win
The issue I think we’re seeing is money.
Republicans had pretty bloody (read: expensive) primary campaigns. Plus the national GOP committees aren’t pulling in what they need to because Conservatives are ticked off.
On top of that, the national GOP has apparently plowed $100 million into a GOTV system to counter the Dem’s Narwal, but hopefully not die a brutal election day death like Orca did in 2012.
Koch $$$ can only go so far. Esp when you consider that they are 60th on the list of political spending and have 20 different unions spending more than they do. Plus all the Soros-backed groups, etc.
Funding isn’t the only thing; it’s everything. And between ticked off Conservatives AND a closely linked network of Dem alinged groups that act as money sponges and spigots, the GOP seriously sucks at it right now.
